Bonus: For the second day in a row Chris Hayes accused the GOP of being on a “jihad” against food stamps.
Via Newsbusters:
On Wednesday’s All In show, MSNBC host Chris Hayes again claimed that House Republicans are waging a “jihad” in trying to cut the food stamp program, asserting that “the GOP’s jihad on those in need gets uglier every single day.”
The MSNBC also fretted again over the possibility that violent felons may lose benefits while MSNBC contributor Joy Reid tried to link racism against minorities to the battle over food stamps. Reid:
“And remember, too, there’s also an ethnic, sort of, tinge to it, too. They’re trying to imply that all of these people are black and brown people when in fact, white women with kids are probably more prototypical of people who are being helped by this program than anyone else.”
Hayes included a plug for the segments on food stamps during the show’s opening teaser: “Plus, yes, right wingers, people are going hungry in America. And the GOP’s jihad on those in need gets uglier every single day.”
